Ramsey insisted that he's not homeless. He said he moved out of his Seymour Avenue home because too many people were knocking on his door. In the meantime, he's staying with friends and family until he can find an apartment.

He's hoping to start an online business, selling merchandise in his likeness. His website, CharlesRamseyLive.com, is currently under construction.

"I ran out of Kleenex. What did you think? You also ran out of Kleenex. What did Oprah think? She also ran out of Kleenex. That's how it goes -- the whole world ran out of Kleenex," Ramsey said.
